Summary of the contracting process

Fairfax Multi Academy Trust is buying occupational health and pre-employment medical services from a single provider, ideally through one integrated online platform. The service will support the Trust’s workforce across the West Midlands, including occupational health management referrals, long-term and frequent absence reviews, return-to-work and fitness-for-work assessments, stress and wellbeing assessments, disability and Equality Act assessments, workplace adjustment recommendations, pre-employment health questionnaires, medical screening and occupational health clearance recommendations. The provider must also supply reporting, management information, account management and support. The platform must securely manage referrals, case tracking, reporting and pre-employment screening. Expected annual activity is approximately 50 occupational health referrals and 60 pre-employment health questionnaires.

The process has reached tender: Fairfax Multi Academy Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 20 August 2026 at 17:00, and tenders by 28 August 2026 at 23:59. The initial contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with the option to extend by two further 12-month periods, potentially until 30 September 2028. The estimated maximum value is £36,000 gross for the single lot. Quality carries 60% and price 40%; quality covers meeting requirements, clinical quality and reporting, system functionality, delivery capacity, mobilisation, experience, references and added value. The three highest-scoring written submissions may be invited to demonstrate their service.

This opportunity suits occupational health providers, occupational health consultancies and medical screening specialists able to deliver both services under one contract. Suppliers need appropriately qualified occupational health professionals to conduct all clinical assessments, and a secure online system covering referrals, pre-employment screening, case management, reporting and management information. The Trust requires appropriate professional indemnity and public liability insurance, compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and at least two client references for similar work. Providers should be able to combine clinical delivery with responsive account management, implementation and user support. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it accessible to capable specialist organisations as well as larger providers.
